About Nicole
Nicole Wilbur is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 19 years of experience. She has worked in hospitals, homecare, hospice, palliative care, brain injury services, and schools. Nicole has provided individual and group support and taught continuing education and community workshops.
She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, mood concerns, and grief. Nicole also works with those facing trauma or abuse, substance use struggles, and challenges linked to ADHD or autism. Anger, relationship problems, parenting strain, and career stress are among the concerns she addresses.
Her approach is interactive and practical. She uses client-centered conversation alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness strategies. Sessions include skill practice, short exercises, and discussion about how patterns of thinking affect feelings and behavior.
Nicole aims to build on a person’s strengths. She helps clients identify small, concrete steps they can try between sessions. Communication strategies and tools to reduce conflict are common topics when relationships are affected.
Her past roles in medical and school settings mean she understands how illness, caregiving, and life transitions change daily routines. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with chronic health concerns, end-of-life issues, or the stress of caregiving.
Sessions tend to focus on usable techniques and clear goals. Nicole works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and to practice skills that make everyday situations easier to manage.
How Nicole integrates approaches in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working from the client’s priorities. It helps people set the goals they care about and decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anger that links to strong automatic thoughts or repeated reactions.Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. Nicole will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what methods feel comfortable. Together they decide which strategies to emphasize and how to pace skill practice between sessions.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and let people try brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches translate well to shorter or more focused sessions, while others use longer meetings for skill practice; Nicole can help plan the structure that suits everyday life and responsibilities.
